The horrific scenes from the horrific massacre that took place in the southern settlements on October 7 arouse a lot of empathy around the world, which is now translating into Israel's position in first place in the Eurovision Song Contest betting. One person who was less enthusiastic about this fact is Tikva Gideon, who recognizes feelings of pity for us from fans of competition around the world.
In a story published on Monday, she compared the Holocaust to the atrocities committed by Hamas in Israel, but in the same breath refused to accept the European embrace. And what did she have to say about Bibi?
"That's what annoys me that we're ranked first (in betting) at Eurovision, when there's no song and no representative yet," Gideon said. "We are really, really not Ukraine. Not at all. No one conquered us, no one can conquer us. Although we have experienced something that no one has experienced in the world, truly an inferno without example... The only example that should be given of what happened here is the Holocaust. This is the first time I can say that it's equivalent to the Holocaust, but we really don't need your first place ranking, with all due respect. We're not poor, sweetheart," she appealed to gamblers. "We will win even without it. But first we will win the war. I'm really interested in what song is being sent now."
Earlier, Gideon also addressed the allegations against the prime minister for allegedly not taking explicit responsibility for the events of the October 7th, as parts of the nation expected him to. "I don't understand why everyone is waiting for Bibi to take responsibility? There are roles that with the role comes responsibility, even if the person does not take. You don't need anyone to take it. It's like if something happens to a mother's child. She can't say anything. You're responsible, because you're the mother."
